What causes Hike in the rear?? and other questions...
#1 So what causes the HIke in the rear? 4 link bar locations on the chassis and the birdcage? Jbar angle? Ive been thinking alot about the new droop rule and had some ideas other than ride heights for getting "around" certain areas but I wanted to pose that question to everyone to see the answers that I am given. #2 Does "excessive" hike in the rear help or hurt on a bigger track? I know it puts the spoiler in the air and the interior of the car directs air to the spoiler but on a track of say 1/2 mile would the benefits out weight the negatives? In this instance should the spoiler be layed back further?#3 Taller, softer LR springs. Is that actually solving anything other than keeping the spring in the bucket of the coilover upon hike? Ive seen springs as tall as 20" out there now. Wouldnt a shorter (10") heavier spring be better for left rear traction. You would have to compress the 20" spring 4 times the amount that you would a 10" spring to achieve basically the same force as the smaller spring would put on the LR tire. Im not an engineer by far. Just asking questions as to why maybe some people are running the extreme tall springs.Just some food for thought and discussion points. Thanks ahead of time guys.
